The prime ministerial debates come with strict rules but as US politicians know, live television can subvert careful planning<p>What can we deduce from reading between the lines of the negotiated document about Britain's <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2010/mar/02/details-leaders-election-debates">televised prime ministerial debates</a>? On the positive side, the campaigns and the television networks are to be commended for releasing the agreement publicly. In the United States, pre-production treaties of this sort rarely surface until after a debate series ends, though various tidbits do get leaked to the press beforehand. By contrast, British voters will have complete access to the rules of the game in advance.</p> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/cifamerica/2010/mar/03/leaders-debates-live-television">Continue reading...</a>US politicsGeneral election 2010LabourConservativesLiberal DemocratsPoliticsBBCSky NewsITV plcMediaPolitics TVTelevision & radioUS newsWorld newsWed, 03 Mar 2010 19:00:00 GMThttp://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/cifamerica/2010/mar/03/leaders-debates-live-televisionPhotograph: guardian.co.ukPhotograph: guardian.co.ukAlan Schroeder2010-03-03T19:00:00Z
